EMOJI QUEST.

• 

  WELCOME TO THE WILD WEST

Inspiration

I love daily puzzle games like Wordle, but I wanted to create something more exciting. What if every guess wasn't just text feedback, but a full 3D cinematic animation

What it does

Emoji Quest shows you 4 emojis. You guess what word or phrase they represent. Here's the magic: When you submit a guess, you're taken to a full-screen 3D shooting animation and you will be ranked on how closer you where compared to others

How we built it

Built the core game with React + TypeScript. Created an algorithm that measures how "close" your guess is to the answer

Challenges we ran into

First attempt failed badly. I tried building 3D models from basic shapes (boxes, cylinders). It looked terrible and the camera was jumpy Used Sloyd.ai to generate professional 3D models:

Western revolver Bullet Bullseye target

Loaded them with React Three Fiber Built a movie-style camera system

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

Technical Skills:

React Three Fiber for 3D in React Camera interpolation and cinematography principles GPU particle systems for performance Web Audio API for procedural sound AI tools for asset generation

Game Design:

Feedback is everything - visual feedback (animation) is more engaging than text Polish matters - smooth animations make users forgive bugs Performance is a feature - 60fps feels 10x better than 30fps

What's next for EMOJI QUEST

Multiplayer mode - compete against friends in real-time
